Listen for the driving drone-based sound of bagpipes and the hurdy-gurdy from the English band Blowzabella on this New Sounds. Sample the Warsaw Village Band, punk-ass hard-rocking folk from Poland who also use the occasional hurdy-gurdy. We'll hear the reels and revels of Celtic folk via Quebec from Le Vent Du Nord (The Wind Of The North), oh - yes, perhaps with a side of hurdy-gurdy. There’s also music from Italy by the singer and sax player Enzo Avitabile based on a 14th Century tradition of turning farm implements into musical instruments. Plus, music from Scotland and a whole lot more.
PROGRAM #2791, Hardcore Folk (First aired on Thursday, 4-17-08)
